Ideally, a test data set should be loaded and rendered. Change directories to the build's bin directory, and invoke the paraview client: The standalone client will need to be run with virtualGL. qt and mpich) will need to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH paraview client

Paraview doesn't build with rpath, so any 3rd party library dependencies (e.g. Once (if) paraview successfully builds both the parallel server and the standalone client should be tested. + Execute 'make' and cross your fingers! Testing Once cmake stops complaining, hit the "g" key to generate the configuration file. Deal with any warnings and keep reconfiguring with "c" until cmake is happy. + After setting cmake options, hit the "c" key to configure. Note, some options are under the "advanced" menu which may be toggled with the "t" key. + From the ccmake menu set the configuration options as described above. Cd to the build directory and use it's path: Note: after you've run cmake for the first time for subsequent invocations to not point it to the paraview source directory. + Change directories to the build dir and bootstrap cmake using the path to the source directory:

If at some point paraview build fails, or you come back on another day and try to remake paraview, you'll need to be sure you still have cmake and qt4.6.1 at the head of your path. + Make sure the path to cmake2.8.8 and Qt4.6.1 are at the head of your execution search path. % mkdir paraview-build cd paraview-build.% cd paraview-src tar xf path_to_tarball cd.You have to create a separate build directory: Note: cmake does not get run from within the paraview source directory. + Untar the paraview tar ball into a temporary location. Also the the 'ncarenv' module caused problems (I don't remember what, but I had to disable it): + I didn't even try to build paraview with the intel compiler. -webkit -script -no-multimedia -no-qt3support -no-pch.It should be configured with the following options: qt-4.6.1 - Qt is almost as unbearably difficult to build as ParaView.mpich2-1.4.1p1 - I was not able to get paraview running with the IBM version of MPI.The following libraries had to be separately built and installed prior to building paraview There appears to be no way to examine a cmake generated configuration file to determine what options have been changed from the default: carefully record any changes you make.In general, every time you invoke cmake in the paraview build directory your environment should be the same (same user, same environment variables). It's best to pair down search paths, ld library paths, etc. If it's in your environment, cmake will find it and try to use it. For ever after you need to point cmake to the build directory. The first time you run cmake you need to point it to the paraview source directory.The following paraview configuration options need to be changed from the default in the cmake session:įailure to heed any of the following will result in frustration and misery: For this build, version 2.8.8 or higher is required. ParaView unfortunately is built with cmake. ParaView Users Guide: see section under "Remote and Parallel Large Data Visualization".
Paraview parallel install#
This document contains notes on the build and install process used to build version 3.14.1 on Geyser. Running ParaView as a distributed memory parallel application requires that ParaView be built from source.
